Klingon change for season 2?

I think that this new picture proves that there is more going on than just lack of razors. Face makeup has been softened and simplified. It's not just hair that is new.

They were doing that throughout season 1, compare L'Rell from the first half of the season to L'Rell in the season finale. Especially her lips, they got a lot thinner.

However, the white haired Klingon in the trailer still has the thick Season 1 makeup. It isn't a universal change.

Discovery's makeup and prosthetics supervisor, Neville Page, designed the 'new' Klingons with hair and then removed it, so this 'change' is actually anything but.
 
^ I can't find it now, but I know that Neville Page posted on his Twitter account that he had taken the Klingon designs he and Glenn Hetrik came up with and put hair on them during the preproduction/production leadup to Discovery's premiere when there was an uproar about said designs.
 
I actually ran into someone on twitter who loves the new Klingon look and hates that they’re adding hair to them.

I guess they do exist!

Well, if this picture of L'Rell was the picture used to sell them the idea of adding hair on these Klingons I can perfectly understand!

She looks like a politician.

Ugh. She just looks fat. Note, I'm not saying Mary Cheiffo looks fat by any means. But they way they still have her chin and cheekbones built up but artificially smooth just makes her look moon-faced, like she's been taking too much Prednisone or something.
 
So, outside of the 4 nostrils she looks like a regular TNG-VOY era Klingon. Cool.

If you were going to ignore TOS Klingons, why not just go this way from the start.
 
Looks awesome! It’s more of a moderate update now, much like what ENT did with the Nausicans or Tellarites, or TNG with the Romulans back in 1988. Don’t forget races were constantly slightly re-imagined throughout Trek’s run, it’s not DSC exclusive.

That's true. Weird thing is that the face has been smoothed, but chest piece has been left "rough". Neck, veins across the chest. It just doesn't match the face anymore. I first looked that she has high collared dress on. That may also be making her look "fat". Too thick neck.

(Not complaining, Klingons have hair now and everything is right in the world again :klingon:)
